British Airways cabin crew vote for more strike action

British Airways cabin crew have voted for four more days of strike action. Unite said the action is about benefits not being reinstated for crew who took part in earlier industrial action. In previous strike action, the airline has managed to minimise delays and cancellations. A British Airways spokeswoman said: "We had reached a deal on pay, which Unite's national officers agreed was acceptable. We urge Unite to put the pay proposals to a vote of their members." The Unite union said the new strikes had come about because the airline had treated staff who had participated in earlier strike action unfairly, by not reinstating their travel concessions which offers them discounted travel on the airline.
